A spring of spring constant k is attached to a support at the bottom of a ramp that makes an angle θ with the horizontal. A bloc

k of inertia m is pressed against the free end of the spring until the spring is compressed a distance d from its relaxed length. Call this position A. The block is then released and moves up the ramp until coming to rest at position B. The surface is rough from position A for a distance 2d up the ramp, and over this distance the coefficient of kinetic friction for the two surfaces is μ . Friction is negligible elsewhere.
What is the distance from A to B? Suppose the values of μ, k, d, θ, and m are such that the spring fully extends, but the block never goes higher than 2d .
Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables k, μ, m, d, and θ.


More than anything I'm just confused by the question. If someone could at least draw the picture I might be able to figure it out. Thanks.

Answer:

x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy

Energy lost  by the spring, W=Kinetic energy gained, KE+Potential energy gained, PE+Work done by friction, Fr

0.5kd^{2}=0.5mv^{2}+mgLsin\theta+\mu_{k}mgcos\theta x

x(mgsin\theta+\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)=0.5kd^{2}

x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}

The required distance from A to B is x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}

As far as I'm concerned, this is a bogus question, or at least a severely corrupted one.

The three numbers given can NOT all be true on Earth.

-- It rolled off the table at 7.6 m/s .  By golly, there you are!  Its initial horizontal velocity is 7.6 m/s, and it has no vertical velocity until it leaves the table.

-- There are no horizontal forces that we're aware of acting on the object.  So it maintains the same horizontal velocity for the rest of the story.  It's 10.5m away from the table in (10.5 m) / (7.8 m/s) = 1.35 second .

-- Vertically, it's just an object dropped from 17.6m off the floor.  Shockingly, the distance it falls in time 'T' is (1/2 g) T².  In 1.35 second, that's 8.88 meters ! . . . only about halfway to the floor !

-- In order to fall 17.6 m to the floor, it would need 1.89 seconds.  In <u>that</u> length of time, however, it would travel (7.8 m/s) x (1.89 s) = 14.78 m away from the base of the table.

So you see, either . . .

-- the table is NOT 17.6m tall, or

-- the object does NOT roll off of the table at 7.8 m/s, or

-- it does NOT land 10.5 m away from the base of the table.

OR . . .

-- the table is not on Earth, and gravity is not 9.8 m/s² !

We often see questions posted on Brainly with not enough given information, OR with some information given that's not needed because it's not involved the answer.  

THIS one is different, and it's unusual.  In this one, we have<em> too much</em> given information, we can't ignore any of it because it's all related, but it's inconsistent and it CAN't all be true.

(Unless the whole story takes place on a mystery planet that is not Earth.  Which I'm not going to take the time and effort right now to figure out what the acceleration of gravity has to be in order to make all of the given information compatible.)

An Na ion has a charge of +1 and an O ion has a charge of –2. How many Na ions does one O ion need to balance charges
Aleonysh [2.5K]
Because Na⁺ ion lacks an electron and O²⁻ has two extra electrons extra, to balance the charge, we need 2 Na⁺ ions.
 
All ions, atoms and molecules want to get to the minimum energy state, and that state is when the ion, atom, or molecule is neutral, that's why all of them want to balance their charges.

n electromagnetic wave in vacuum has an electric field amplitude of 611 V/m. Calculate the amplitude of the corresponding magnet
enot [183]

Answer:

The  corresponding  magnetic field is  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The electric field amplitude is  E_o   =  611\  V/m

   

Generally the  magnetic  field amplitude is  mathematically represented as

              B_o  =  \frac{E_o }{c }

Where c is the speed of light with a constant value

         c = 3.0 *0^{8} \ m/s

So  

        B_o   =  \frac{611 }{3.0*10^{8}}

         B_o   =  2.0 4 *10^{-6} \  Vm^{-2} s

Since 1  T  is  equivalent to  V  m^{-2} \cdot  s

         B_o  =  2.0 4 *10^{-6} \ T

Charge g is distributed in a spherically symmetric ball of radius a. (a) Evaluate the average volume charge density p. (b) Now a
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

The volume of a sphere is:

V = 4/3 * π * a^3

The volume charge density would then be:

p = Q/V

p = 3*Q/(4 * π * a^3)

If the charge density depends on the radius:

p = f(r) = k * r

I integrate the charge density in spherical coordinates. The charge density integrated in the whole volume is equal to total charge.

Q = \int\limits^{2*\pi}_0\int\limits^\pi_0  \int\limits^r_0 {k * r} \, dr * r*d\theta* r*d\phi

Q = k *\int\limits^{2*\pi}_0\int\limits^\pi_0  \int\limits^r_0 {r^3} \, dr * d\theta* d\phi

Q = k *\int\limits^{2*\pi}_0\int\limits^\pi_0 {\frac{r^4}{4}} \, d\theta* d\phi

Q = k *\int\limits^{2*\pi}_0 {\frac{\pi r^4}{4}} \,  d\phi

Q = \frac{\pi^2 r^4}{2}}

Since p = k*r

Q = p*π^2*r^3 / 2

Then:

p(r) = 2*Q / (π^2*r^3)
